Fast track entry is now available at all courts and tribunals through the Professional Users Access Scheme (PUAS)
The membership scheme, first piloted in 2018, allows quicker access through security for registered members. Once signed up, members are given an ID card that allows them to enter court and tribunal buildings without going through the routine security search on each visit. The scheme now has nearly 9,000 members. Join via the Bar Council’s secure My Bar portal, the Criminal Law Solicitors Association or London Criminal Courts Solicitors Association website.
